Rarible is a multichain NFT marketplace with a strong creator-royalties stance, a modular Rarible API/SDK for builders, and white-label marketplaces for collections and brands. The ecosystem also includes RARI (governance) and RARI Chain, an Ethereum L3 that embeds royalties at the node/sequencer level.
Quick Facts
-
What it is: Marketplace + aggregator tools, Community Marketplaces for collections, RaribleX for brand/game storefronts, and Rarible API/SDK for devs.
-
Chains (live list evolves): RARI Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Immutable X, zkSync Era, Base, Celo, Moonbeam, Etherlink, Lisk, Palm, Aptos, Aleph Zero, Shape, Telos, Matchain, Abstract, Arbitrum, Hedera EVM, Goat Network, etc. See the help-center’s current roster.
-
Royalties stance: Enforced on native Rarible listings and Rarible-powered community markets; Rarible stopped aggregating orders from marketplaces that allow bypassing royalties.
-
Fees (2025): Rarible reduced marketplace fees to ~1% per side in late Aug 2025 (previously a regressive schedule). Community Marketplaces can set 0%+ custom fees. Always check the checkout panel.
-
Token & governance: RARI powers RARI DAO governance across marketplace, API, and RARI Chain initiatives.
How It Works
-
Connect a wallet and choose a supported chain (or list via your Community Marketplace / brand site on RaribleX).
-
Buy/Sell: create listings, accept bids, or place collection offers; royalties show in checkout. Aggregated orders may appear where applicable.
-
Creators/Collections: spin up a Community Marketplace, set royalties & fees, and route all trades through your owned venue.
-
Builders: integrate the API/SDK (order book, bids, Execute API) to add NFT trading into apps, wallets, or launch a white-label market.
-
(Optional) RARI Chain: mint/trade where royalties are enforced on-chain and gas is minimal (ETH-denominated).
